From: linma <linma@xxxxxxxxxx> In the cleanup routine for failed initialization of HCI device, the flush_work(&hdev->rx_work) need to be finished before the flush_work(&hdev->cmd_work). Otherwise, the hci_rx_work() can possibly invoke new cmd_work and cause a bug, like double free, in late processings. This was assigned CVE-2021-3564. This patch reorder the flush_work() to fix this bug.
